1846 DEATH PENALTY 1ed Defense of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Anti Abolition Slavery
1846 DEATH PENALTY 1ed Defense of CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Anti Abolition Slavery
This book combines two works, “An Essay on the Ground and Reason of Punishment” by Tayler Lewis and “A Defence of Capital Punishment” by George Barrell Cheever, into a single volume with an appendix reviewing Charles E. Burleighs work on the death penalty. Both essays examine the theoretical and theological underpinnings of punishment, with a specific focus on the death penalty. Lewis and Cheever argue against the abolitionist movement, claiming that proponents of abolishing capital punishment are innovators challenging established societal norms without sufficient evidence. They maintain that the death penalty is a time-honored and effective deterrent grounded in divine ordinance, and its removal could lead to dire societal consequences. The essays cover various aspects, from the morality and justice of capital punishment to its impact on society and the individual, asserting the necessity of the death penalty in maintaining order and expressing retributive justice.
